Mouldy Post

posted Friday, 1 February 2008

    Just a quickie post for the moment. I'm going to see Bob Mould this afternoon for a free at noon concert down at WXPN's World Cafe Live. I have no idea what I'm in for. Will it be new solo stuff from his album that comes out Tuesday, District Line, or the electro dance/disco music of Blowoff, or a throwback to Sugar and Hüsker Dü? Only time will tell. And so will I, when I get back!

Bob Mould--"The Silence Between Us" mp3 off District Line (buy)

Blowoff--"Saturday Night All the Time" mp3 off Blowoff (buy)

Sugar--"Your Favorite Thing" mp3 off File Under Easy Listening (buy

Hüsker Dü--"Diane" mp3 off Metal Circus (buy)

    Question: How exactly do you pronounce Hüsker Dü?

Enjoy the show! I'm green with envy, you know.

I've always pronounced it like Hoosker Do, but I've only based that on the umlaut sound I recall from my high school German classes from well over 30 years ago.

I'm with Nat's pronunciation. Nothing to do with classes or anything. It was how I first heard it said on BBC Radio. And they are never wrong.

well if the bbc says it that way, then i bow to their pronounciation. ;-)
